“Compared to a kid who had never seriously practiced shooting before, I thought I would definitely win. Unexpectedly, he came up and picked up his gun before shooting perfectly…”
‘When Xia Jinyuan was 12 years old, the father and son always fought by competing with each other in push-ups or chin-ups. Xia Jinyuan always thought that the reason why he had good stamina was because he often competed with his old man when he was young.
“Twon, and he lost. Unfortunately, he still wanted to deny it. I quit and cried loudly in the shooting range. My dad was afraid of embarrassing himself, so he finally agreed. He was the one who started the bet and he was the one who set the rules. In the end, he still went back on his word. How could I not
be angry?”
Xia Jinyuan remembered this too. Although the past memories were still vivid in his mind, it was still the past. He was 14 then and was now 26. It had already been 12 years.
“Tadmitted defeat to my son. Back then, I was a pioneer in the squad. No matter how I thought about it, it was too embarrassing, In the end, I had no choice but to agree to his ridiculous request. It was even more infuriating.” After he finished talking about his dark history, Commander Xia used tea as
wine and raised his cup to Xia Jinyuan. “Don’t be too proud. I’ll wait for my grandson who’ll be more successful than you to come out and deal with you.”
Every time she heard about their dark history, Ye Jian would just silently take some food for herself… A brat who was even more of a rascal than Captain Xia? Just the thought of it made her scalp tingle.
“Don’t worry. With a powerful father around, he definitely won’t have that chance. Come again, even if I can’t win him, his mother will definitely be able to.”
Commander Xia drank the tea in one gulp. He did not want to talk to Major Xia anymore… What a disappointment!
“Come, Little Ye. As our farewell today, let’s drink some tea in place of wine. I still need to hold a meeting tomorrow, so I won’t be sending you to the airport.” Commander Xia had changed out of his military uniform and put on his casual clothes. He was no longer the powerful commander in chief.
Instead, he was a kind and interesting elder. One could feel his care from his words.
Captain Xia’s home was a very warm home. It was also the home she yearned for.
‘When dinner ended at eight in the evening, Xia Jinyuan took his wallet and went out to settle the bill. Commander Xia reminded Ye Jian, “Being honest, down-to-earth, and responsible should be everyone’s principles in life. As a soldier, not only do you have to meet these four standsards, but you also
have to know how to be tolerant. Little Ye, being more tolerant can improve your life.
“However, if others bully you and you don’t fight back, that’s not tolerance but weakness. Remember what I said. As long as you’re in the right and I’m around when something happens, you don’t have to be afraid of anything, okay?”
For some reason, Ye Jian could tell that there was a deeper meaning to his words. She said uncertainly, “Are you… aw aware that I had a small conflict with the daughter of Staff Officer Du?”
“Why? Are you afraid of learning about it? Or are you afraid that I’ll scold you?” Commander Xia could not help but shake his head and smile when he saw her panicked expression. “Even if I know, what’s there to worry about?
“Little Six must have told you about what happened between me and Staff Officer Du. You had a conflict with his daughter, and it just happened. It’s nothing special.
“If she dares to do anything, I’ll naturally wait for her move. You—”
suddenly, an anxious middle-aged woman’s voice rang out. “Xia Xinhui, are you inside?!” Before Commander Xia could finish speaking, he heard what she said and retracted his smile. He instantly looked dignified.
